Is this a rooster thing? Or will hens do it too?

Can you get a better profile picture of it? We might be able to help with gender

It might be the angle but I'm thinking it is a boy

My chickens arent model material.

He is a backyard breed. He could be any mix.

any chicken that has some sort of feathering will do that (any chicken excepting NNs). It is a way for the chicken to make themselves look bigger. same reason that the Romans had those crazy helmets. and the Greeks. But real vikings did not have horns coming out of their helmets. that was just a romanticism.
sorry for the short history lesson

I think it's a cockerel, that's alot of comb and wattle but I could be wrong. @Overo Mare

Good history lesson!

thank you! I try to inform people when I get the chance. History and Math are my specialties. I just used 18 words in those sentences. 18 is divisable by 9, 6, 3, and 2. it is not a prime. 99 isn't a prime either.

You're right! Cockerel

Thank you! I am finally starting to see these long thin neck feather on my flock. So slow in growth I guess for my bunch. My obvious rooster has these. So I am using him as a guide.

I am seeing a lot more pointy feather than I want though I will confirm them all through here eventually since I am new.

But this one is marked as a roo and will be eaten instead of cared for through the winter.

Yay! Well not yay for the op....

Oh well. At this point I would rather know. I order 5 extra chicks than I needed to account for roosters.
I got 17 chicks, 1 died of a heart attack/faikure around the 10 week mark.
16 left - 2 confirmed roos, 6 suspected roos
